About Byrom Street Chambers

Byrom Street Chambers is a specialist set of Chambers located in Manchester’s recently developed Spinningfields area, close to the new Civil Justice Centre. All members of Chambers practise also from our recently refurbished Chambers at Crown Office Chambers, London, where consultations are regularly held.

The premises at Byrom Street are modern, purpose-built and designed with particular attention to the needs of all clients. Facilities include large, comfortable conference rooms, two video-conferencing suites, the latest information technology with wireless connection and an extensive library. All facilities have been designed with the disabled user in mind.

Byrom Street is a forward thinking set with traditional values, dedicated to the work of Leading and Senior Junior Counsel with extensive expertise in high value and complex cases. Chambers provides a highly individual and personalised service with an emphasis on client needs. This is made possible by Chambers’ small size.

Chambers’ strategic plan of recruiting only specialist Counsel of the highest calibre is well recognised and welcomed by our clients. We believe that Byrom Street is Manchester's centre of excellence. Our philosophy of client care involves caring about the case and taking care of the client.

With this reputation for quality and service, members offer advice and advocacy in a range of specialisations and can provide the depth of cover necessary to conduct litigation in the most complex of cases. We practise predominantly in the fields of personal injury (with an emphasis on catastrophic cases, group and class actions, clinical negligence and disease litigation), health and safety, medical law, professional liability, commercial litigation, employment, human rights and civil fraud.

We are consistently ranked in the top tier of the independent legal directories with all members being recognised as leaders in their field.

Five members of Chambers currently sit as Deputy Judges of the High Court, one member as the Judge of Appeal in the Isle of Man, 11 members sit as Recorders, one member sits on the Mental Health Review Tribunal, one member sits on the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal and one member sits as a Deputy Coroner

Former members of Chambers include Lady Justice Smith, Lord Justice Leveson, Mrs Justice Swift, Mr Justice King and His Honour Judge Stewart QC.
